Congratulations to our colleagues at the Mostly Modern Festival! We were thrilled to perform with the Mostly Modern Orchestra during the Festival's season opener on June 5, with a program of works by Navarro, Tomasi, Robert Paterson | Composer, and Lauridsen.

Albany Pro Musica is proud to partner with the Mostly Modern Festival for a three-year ensemble residency, and we'll be returning to the Festival for concerts in 2027 and 2028. Jose Daniel Flores-Caraballo will serve as MMF conductor-in-residence during that period, AND Albany Pro Musica will engage Robert as APM's composer-in-residence during the same period -- stay tuned for LOTS of great music and collaboration in the seasons ahead!

Our season may be over, but the music continues.

This summer, Albany Pro Musica returns to the Saratoga Performing Arts Center for two special performances as part of S**C’s 60th anniversary season.

On August 15, Albany Pro Musica joins the legendary Philadelphia Orchestra for Beethoven’s Ninth Symphony, conducted by Yannick Nézet-Séguin. The performance celebrates a meaningful S**C milestone: the Orchestra's very first residency at S**C opened in 1966 with that monumental work, under the baton of Eugene Ormandy.

As part of their anniversary celebration, S**C is offering special $19.66 lawn tickets for the performance!

Earlier in the season, a treble ensemble from Albany Pro Musica will also participate in the New York City Ballet’s four performances of A Midsummer Night’s Dream (July 8-11), featuring choreography by George Balanchine and music by Felix Mendelssohn.

We hope you’ll join us for another unforgettable summer at S**C!
